During his visit to India, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decided to get acquainted with local culture by wearing the country’s traditional costume and dancing.

Many Twitter users, however, criticized Trudeau. Also, several of them considered his “look” inappropriate.
In addition, India Today newspaper wrote that the Canadian PM’s demeanor may offend Indians.
Is it just me or is this choreographed cuteness all just a bit much now? Also FYI we Indians don’t dress like this every day sir, not even in Bollywood. pic.twitter.com/xqAqfPnRoZ
